Modify EmailDiscussion addon to exclude certain users from receiving the emails?

ObamaCare_Forums

Hi:

Presently the EmailDiscussion plugin sends out emails to all users by default. I want to modify it to exclude certain users from receiving the emails. So, I will modify the body of the email with verbiage like "To unsubscribe from these emails, reply with REMOVE in the subject line." Then, if a user replies asking to be removed, I want to update the EmailDiscussion plugin, perhaps updating config.php directly, to exclude that user/email address.

I'm running 2.1.11.

Anyone willing to modify it for me for a fee?

Thank you.

you could do this...

-option A

change line 70 in EMailDiscussion/default.php

foreach($Emails as $Email) {

to

   // retrieve excluded email addresses from config.php
    $ExcludeUsers = C('Plugins.EmailSubscribe.ExcludeList'); 
  // take out the excluded addresses from Email Arrray
    $Emails = array_diff($Emails, $ExcludeUsers);  
// loop through array 
   foreach($Emails as $Email) {

then add excluded email addresses to your config.php

$Configuration['Plugins']['EmailSubscribe']['ExcludeList'] =  array("joe@none.com","Bozo@none.com","papa@none.com");

• option B

or you could just edit the default.php of plugin (without a config statement)

change line 70 in EMailDiscussion/default.php

foreach($Emails as $Email) {

to

// add your list of excluded email addresses here instead of config.
$ExcludeUsers = array(
"joe@none.com",
"Bozo@none.com";
"the_next_email@address.com",
"and_next_one@example.com",
"and_so_on.com@none.com"
);

  // take out the excluded addresses from Email Arrray
 $Emails = array_diff($Emails, $ExcludeUsers);

// loop through array 
  foreach($Emails as $Email) {

you could also have someone write you a setup screen so you could add exluded email addresses via dashboard.
